It was put into use in 1977. In 1986, the fourth unit of the nuclear power plant (Reactor No. 4) exploded, causing the Chernobyl nuclear accident. Although there was a serious explosion accident, other units separated by a wall from Unit 4 were not damaged. In order to alleviate the problem of power shortage in Ukraine, the other three units of the nuclear power plant continued to work to generate electricity. In 2000, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was completely shut down. [3]

The Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which we took 100 meters from where the nuclear leak occurred, was where comrade firefighters fought. We also had lunch in the cafeteria of the Chernobyl plant and checked the radiation index before dinner. Unfortunately, the hospital in the American drama was not allowed tourists to take pictures because of safety problems.
There are not many people near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but the number of cancer-causing deaths from the nuclear power plant accident is still about 9.3 10,000. The Chernobyl nuclear leak not only made Ukraine, Belarus and Russia a "heavy disaster area", and the dust with radioactive materials drifted to Bulgaria, Poland, Germany, etc., and most of Europe did not escape the threat of nuclear pollution. Globally, 270,000 people have cancer from the Chernobyl nuclear spill, and 2 billion people have been affected by the Chernobyl accident.
In 1986, the Soviet Union did not disintegrate, and the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine exploded, radiation equivalent to 400 American atomic bombs dropped on Japan! From the map, Chernobyl is located near the border between Ukraine and Belarus, 110 kilometers north of the Ukrainian capital Kiev, which can be said to be very close. Fortunately, the wind is mainly east-west, and the densely populated Kiev has escaped the disaster.
The meeting place of the Chernobyl group is very close to the train station. The group to Chernobyl is a Mercedes-Benz bus. Before getting on the bus, take out the previously printed confirmation email. The person in charge of each car will confirm whether you are a tourist in their car. If you are a tourist in their car, the person in charge will charge the remaining 75% of the tour fee and let you get on the bus. There is a disclaimer notice that everyone needs to sign for confirmation.
